The art of jewelry craftsmanship has been in the Zinzopoulos family for generations. Constantine Zinzopoulos learned the skill from his father, also named Constantine, who studied in Italy with big names like Cartier, before coming to the United States to raise his family.
Part Greek, part Brazilian, and all American, Constantine Jr., grew up in Arlington, MA. After taking some night classes at Boston University, he decided to take the skills he had learned from his father to be a jewelry wholesaler. His skills were contracted by various businesses to size and personalize pieces. After deciding to take the risk, and plunge into retail, Constantine opened Alexia and Co. Jewelry in March of this year. He can now be found at 131 Broadway, offering full, in-house services including repairs and custom made jewelry.
Constantine will be diversifying even farther after the holidays, with the launch of his first ever jewelry collection. He is thrilled and excited to get his name on the map as a designer to watch. You can expect sterling silver and gold, fashion forward designs, from bold nighttime pieces to delicate every-day accessories, all including a signature element. So, keep your eye out for his collection in the coming months!
Constantine now lives in Somerville with his family, and shares our commitment to the East Somerville community. We hope you join us in welcoming Constantine and Alexia & Co. Jewelry to the East Broadway Business District!
